Perimeter player in his 5th year should be able to play 2-3 minutes without picking up a foul. He stays hot and maybe the lead gets pushed to 15-20....

You lose your lead with him on the bench and you also lose momentum, then you put him back in cold in the 4th, when he might not be able to get going again. It wouldn't be the first time Casey sat a hot player for a safe/routine substitution and the player goes cold.

I'd understand that in the 1st quarter, but if got a quick 5th that's far too risky.

IT's also risky to sit your only hot offensive player on a night where pretty much everyone else has struggled to find a rhythm. Basketball is a game of flow, and sometimes you have to take the big risks to preserve your flow. If they lose the momentum they have while he's on the bench, they may not get it back and he might come back in cold.

If it were a big, I'd play it safe. But perimeter players should have an easier time playing foul-free ball.

at least Casey is being smart about it how about he picks up his 5th?? Anyways Casey is an idiot but not dumb enough to keep a player on the floor when he has 4 fouls in the 3rd
